Those with leverage can use it to get better benefits. Shocking.
Also, knowledge workers have a higher average salary than laborers. No guesses for which one is better suited to working from home.
Yep.
Can't exactly dig a ditch from home.
And I say this as someone who's: dug ditches (septic actually, even worse), pumped gas, serviced cars, built homes, plumbed homes, installed AC, delivered home construction materials, remodeled houses, been a line cook, waiter, deployed hardware, setup access control, alarm monitoring, surveillance systems, restaurant manager, and several other jobs.
None which could be done from home, except part of the security stuff.
So us "gray collars" still have plenty of hands-on work. Always will.
Just another bit of manufactured outrage.
